Direct Stake validators ​

Minimum 10 SOL direct stake to qualify for a DS slot. Validators below 10 SOL still receive their direct stake but no matching. Ranking is purely by direct stake size.

If your validator meets the criteria but is still not enlisted in the Program, make sure it's not blacklisted as a malicious validator. Examples may include block lists maintained by the Solana Foundation and the Jito Foundation.
